QuoteRussian plane disappears in demonstration flight in Indonesia
Heard that. Apparently some search helos had to turn back due to "bad weather."
"The plane began making its descent but vanished from radar screens at 6,200 feet in a mountainous area."
eek
Looks like they found it :-\
QuoteRescuers discovered the shattered wreckage of a new Russian-made passenger plane Thursday that smashed into the side of an Indonesian volcano during a flight to impress potential buyers. All 45 people on board were feared dead.

I've very sorry to hear it, although it is certainly not unexpected.
I'm guessing the potential buyers are not impressed.
I believe that the buyers may have been on board. The trip probably made quite an impact on them...
^Naughty.
Not to detract from the tragedy of the situation, but I first read the thread's title as "Planet lost". I was mighty confused there for a few moments...
If someone don't get a 'Uranus' joke in, then I'd say we are slipping...........
